Anybody Think We Should Trade The No.2 Pick?


Recommended Posts

at the point..the 'cats need to take a chance...

I say take Andre Drummond and do everything humanly possibly to develop him properly.

He was considered the no.1 pick before the cbb season..but he struggled at times at UCONN..which many would argue is due to the coaching situation.

fwiw..just trying to make myself feel better.

If you can't draft some franchise shaping talent at 2nd and 9th, then you might as well give it up. Add those two lottery picks to what we have in Walker and Biyombo and we've got the start of something special. Does it suck to lose the 1st pick? Yeah it does. However, there is no generational talent in this draft. The first overall pick was highly debated up until the tournament. So yeah, time to get the work on identifying the two players you want to help build around.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
